17 RIP (Repeat-induced point mutation) Repeat-induced point mutation A process that efficiently detects and mutates duplicated sequences. Act only during Sexual Cycle. ~30% of C:G -> T:A RIP-mutated sequences are also frequent targets for DNA methylation gene silencing RIP illustrates the extraordinary extent to which genomes defend themselves against mobile genetic elements.

TRENDS in genetics Vol.20 No.9 September
18 Features of T.reesei genome (2/3) Some repetitive sequences similar to class I & II transposable elements (~1% of the finished genome) contains multiple stop codons.
